I know that it's the only official source, but CVS is extremely
painful to work with and I prefer github for several reasons (for me
extremely important - I have some local patches that I can easily
fetch from anywhere and merging works perfectly). Until now I have
never experienced any major problem with the source on github (except
that I already manage to report a problem that has been just fixed
short before and the source didn't catch up with that fix yet).

This in fact turned to be the reason for failure. After running
./prepare and ./configure and disabling wxt the compilation worked
fine again. I'm sorry for the false alarm.

Maybe the option should be switched off on Mac by default (unless one
would enable it with --enable-wxwidgets)? Configuration step usually
doesn't detect any problem, it's only the building step that fails.
